Chapter 143

New world.

Unknown island.

In a fairly calm city, there was a large two-story building. The sign at the entrance read Pirate's Dream. It was a famous tavern, which was often visited by pirates from all over the New World. But although this island was constantly visited by criminals, it was always calm here. Only in this tavern, there was always noise and hubbub. At the moment, a fairly well-known team of pirates has stopped here and has been drinking heavily for the third day.

A couple of pirates sat at the bar. A half-naked man in a hat and a blond man in a top hat.

These two have become quite famous lately. Two brothers who reunited after a long separation.

Sabo put down the newspaper and chuckled.

- Looks like Mor finally became Yonko, Rotret will get drunk for sure, ha ha ha!

Ace took the newspaper in surprise and laughed as he read it.

- Ha ha ha, great! - Turning around, Ace jumped into a chair and shouted, "Guys!" The Sea Devil has become a Yonko!

- GRAAA! - all the pirates shouted in unison.

Ace raised his glass of rum and shouted:

- Let's drink to our brother!

- GRAAA! - the pirates took a toast and drank.

Ace sat down and said:

- I think the old man would be glad. A worthy man took his place.

Sabo chuckled, and then sighed heavily:

- I think it's time for me brother, I already lingered here already.

Ace looked at his brother sadly, then smiled and nodded.

"I see ... If you meet Luffy, say hello to him." I think he'll be shocked when he sees you.

- Good! Before I leave, let's have a drink!

***

Somewhere on the Grand Line.

Yukiryu Island.

Silent falling snow was familiar to this place. Snowstorms were very rare here, and even if the island was wintry, the weather was usually very calm here. The sun was shining, but it could not warm the local inhabitants.

There were too few people on the island. It was winter all year round, so it was almost impossible to live here. But the animals here were in abundance, although they were not as scary as the creatures in some other places.

Deep on the island, there was a large three-story Japanese-style house. On top of the gate, a black flag was nailed, with the famous Jolly Roger.

Inside the house itself, there was a familiar scene. The red-haired pirates all got drunk and ate and laughed. Shanks was sitting nearby and smiling, reading the newspaper, drinking rum.

- Ha, not even three years have passed ... Soon the New World will be fun. He even killed Jack, heh, Kaido must have got drunk and burst into tears.

Sitting opposite Lucky Roo, he asked with interest:

- What's the cap?

Shanks unrolled the newspaper and showed it to the pirate. There was a large flyer with an award on the whole sheet. It showed a grinning pirate, with a fairly significant bounty on his head.

Seeing him, Lucky Roo laughed.

- Ha ha ha, this kid is making progress.

Shanks nodded.

- Yes, only he angered Kaido and it could end in a serious fight.

- What's the difference? He's a Yonko now, let him figure it out! Yasopp, sitting next to him, exclaimed.

Shanks put down the newspaper and said:

"You're right, let's have a drink ..." Standing up, Shanks shouted loudly: "Guys! Let's drink to the new Yonko! For the Sea Devil!

- YES!!!

The red-haired pirates all got up and began to drink.

***

In the endless ocean, a lone ship with black sails sailed. "Emptiness", he perfectly suited these places. Fast, agile, and most importantly - your own. I'm already so used to this ship ... Perhaps one day it will arrive at the shores of the Raftel, and I will find One Piece. I wonder what it's like to be the Pirate King? Roger was not young, and besides, he was ill ... He did not carry this title for long. What kind of person was he? Die without regrets, with a smile on your face. Probably, this is the true "D". But who are they, these "D"? Fearless demons? People destined to become strong? What connects us with the empty century?

"Eh, I suppose, only after arriving on this island, I will find out the truth ..." - sighing heavily, I bent down and looked overboard. The small fish splashed in the water and jumped out flapping its tails. The voices of the sea kings echoed from the depths and gave me a special sense of oneness with this place. Yes, the ocean is beautiful ...

We recently visited one of Big Mom's islands. Fortunately, there are many of them in the New World. So we were able to find our way to her island. Tribute is often carried to her, in the form of sweets, so most of the governors of the islands have a special vivre card. After picking it up, we headed to Whole Cake Island. I hope we make it in time ...

I folded the newspaper and put it aside. This time, the news written there surprised me very much. I became Yonko, one of the Four Emperors of the New World. For the murder of Jack and for the new title, my reward has been significantly increased. Now I'm a pirate with three billion per head. Not bad for a beginner ...

I guess Kaido was not very happy with Jack's death. I probably have an enemy among the Yonko now. And Big Mom will soon be my enemy. All in all, Yonko's hilarious becoming, to be sure. Hmm, I would like to deal with one, which I'm not very sure about ...

Okay, while I can, I'll throw in the points I earned from Jack.

"Status!" - mentally uttering the command, a familiar window appeared in front of me.

Not bad, Jack gave as many as two hundred points, it made me happy. You can put them directly into the dragon fruit, which looks like and worth doing. Against the Yonko, I'm not quite sure yet, so I have a plan for the upcoming battle. Earn points first, and only then meet with them. Well, who, if not their generals, are suitable for pumping?

Well, now ... Perhaps I will pump all types of khakis to the maximum, and the remaining points will be put into the dragon fruit. I need as much protection as possible, but if I think so ... Fruit evolves when pumping three hundred points. If I kill, say, Katakuri, then I will be given at least one hundred points. But if the bonus works, as with Jack, then I get two hundred. Hmm, I think the improved dragon form will be no worse than the maximum in weapon khaki. Okay, fifty points, in the wallpaper, the kinds of will and a hundred in the dragon fruit!
